The market, a home for more than 50 NYC-based food and craft stalls and an offshoot of the Hester Street Fair, will be open this coming Saturday, December 8, and Sunday, December 9. Beginning on Saturday, December 15, the sellers will man their posts until 7 p.m., so last-minute gifters can browse the Mott Street pop-up.
